2x-GRAMMY® Award Nominated Guitarist, Singer, Songwriter & Producer SCOTT SHARRARD has American music coursing through his heart and soul. From the farm to the church and the back porch to the roadhouse, Sharrard makes music that is rooted in the soil.

 

Sharrard’s most recent solo album, ‘Rustbelt’, was released in 2021 and may be his most intimate and personal collection of originals. Backed by Scott’s live band, the project also features his good friends Bill Payne, Charlie Drayton, Catherine Russell and Amy Helm.

 

“The creative process is my one true obsession,” he reflects. “In my heart of hearts, I’m a collaborator. My favorite day is when I never have to look at the clock in the studio.”

 

Since 2019, Sharrard has been the lead singer and guitarist for Little Feat, preserving the magic of the group’s beloved guiding light, the late Lowell George, and reimagining that energy with his own mojo. Sharrard co-produced and wrote nine songs for Little Feat’s newest project, ‘Strike Up The Band’ (2025).

 

‘Strike Up The Band’ follows two other artistic triumphs for Little Feat which Scott also co-produced: The riveting GRAMMY® nominated PBS special ‘Live at The Ryman’ (2022), with star turns from Eric Church, Jamey Johnson, Tommy Emmanuel and Marcus King; as well as ‘Sam’s Place’ which received a 2024 GRAMMY® nomination for “Best Blues Album”.

 

In his early career, Sharrard made three albums as the leader of the Chesterfields, a boundary-busting rock-and-soul band formed in Milwaukee and later based in New York City. Since then, he has made six solo albums, including ‘Saving Grace’, which was recorded at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals and climbed the Billboard Blues chart in 2018. The album featured the Swampers and the HI Records Rhythm Section, and Taj Mahal’s standout vocal on “Everything A Good Man Needs,’ which Sharrard composed with Gregg Allman.

 

Sharrard served as Greg Allman’s music director, band leader and producer for many years; their partnership culminated in the GRAMMY® nominated ‘Southern Blood’ in 2017. The indelible “My Only True Friend”, which Sharrard and Allman wrote for the album, also received a GRAMMY® nomination for “Americana Song of the Year”. Sharrard and Allman were more than collaborators, they were also confidants and best friends. Of Scott, Allman has said, “I know all about guitar players-I’ve seen the very best-and Scott Sharrard is the perfect guitarist for my band.” “Gregg’s spirit is always near to me,” says Scott.

 

As a guitarist, Sharrard has shared the stage with gurus and gunslingers like Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, Tommy Emmanuel and Hubert Sumlin. Relix put it this way: “From Manhattan to Memphis to Muscle Shoals and back again, Sharrard has stamped his ticket and his mark on the past, present, and future of record-making in rock&roll.”

 

Sharrard is extremely passionate about social and political causes; he has the Rolodex and the repertoire to make philanthropic music lovers rejoice. He’s a frequent musical director for charity events organized by Justice Aid, Live Nation and impresario Peter Shapiro. “Music is the ultimate celebration of community,” he says.

 

Through their company Theo Productions, Sharrard and his creative partner, longtime collaborator, and recording engineer, Charlie Martinez, work with a number of artists. Their partnership has flourished for more than 20 years, while Martinez has also worked with such artists as Steely Dan, the Rolling Stones and Little Feat.

 

Sharrard’s versatility in music extends beyond performance and production to include teaching as well as film and TV scoring and composition. He points to Robbie Robertson’s collaboration with director Martin Scorsese as a template for his own musical imagination and collaborations in the visual medium. Sharrard scored the third season of the CBS-TV show “Walker, Texas Ranger”, and is working on a new show in development with reality show pioneer and director, C. Russel Muth, which explores the connections between food and regional music.

 

On Substack, Sharrard celebrates his boundless love for music in “Scott Sharrard’s Endless Road.” The column, which has generated thousands of followers, has helped him to further define his voice as a writer and music historian.

 

“…[Sharrard’s] album ‘Saving Grace’ – is a blast of brassy grit, full of vocal harmonies and white-hot, Allman Brothers-worthy guitar moves. Gregg would’ve been proud. It’s the sort of recording Gregg Allman would’ve once made: rooted in the music of his predecessors, with enough electricity and elastic musicianship to inspire the next generation of Southern sons.”
